"Hmm!" Hu Mingmei responded heavily, then became lost in his own thoughts.
Seeing that Hu Mingmei was lost in thought again, Lu Ying scratched his head and asked cautiously, "Second Master, did I go to investigate the strange thing at Miss Bai's place?"
Lu Ying originally thought that Hu Mingmei would agree, but to her surprise, Hu Mingmei immediately refused, saying, "No need!"
"Then..." Lu Ying said hesitantly, "So we're just going to give up on this lead?"
"Don't worry about Bai Nuo's matter anymore. Bai Nuo will be fine!" Hu Mingmei said solemnly. "Think of other ways, start from other places!"
Hu Mingmei made a decision in an instant. Since he had seen Bai Nuo change clothes and see her body, he should marry her and take responsibility for her. Lu Ying was right; a girl's purity was indeed very important. Since they were going to get married, he shouldn't doubt Bai Nuo anymore. If Bai Nuo had a secret, she should tell him herself, instead of him investigating. That would be a sign of distrusting Bai Nuo, and she would be very sad and disappointed if she found out.
Although he and Bai Nuo don't have feelings for each other yet, he believes that feelings can be cultivated after they get married, and he will also know Bai Nuo's secret.
After we get married, he will definitely treat Bai Nuo well, just like his father treated his mother!
It's just that it's tough on her, having to fall into the mud with him. But with him there, he'll definitely protect her and keep her safe.
"Oh!" Lu Ying responded blankly. He had no idea what his master was thinking. He would just do whatever his master said.
Sigh, having a boss who changes his mind all the time is really tough, and being a good subordinate is even harder.
As Lu Ying turned to leave, Hu Mingmei called him back, "Wait a minute. From now on, when you're with Bai Yu or Bai Nuo, you must be devoted to them as you are to me!"
Lu Ying was very puzzled, and even suspected that Hu Mingmei might have been sick to the point of brain damage or that someone had cast a spell on him. He wanted to ask him, but looking at Hu Mingmei's serious expression, Lu Ying felt that this strange person in front of him was his master. So, he could only say "Oh" and then leave.

Bai Nuo never imagined that in such a short time, Hu Mingmei would automatically consider her his wife. She was even more unaware that it was because she took off her clothes that things had turned out this way. If she had known that she had suddenly become a troublemaker and had been included in his camp, she would have knocked Hu Mingmei unconscious rather than do such a shitty thing as changing clothes by the window.
At this time, Bai Nuo was still completely unaware of everything. She tapped her clam, opening each one one by one, feeling around until she found the tiny protrusion, and then carefully prying out the pearls from each one. If there was a pearl, she would take it; if not, she would eat the flesh. Bai Nuo felt a great sense of accomplishment as she did this.
Through the experience she has accumulated over the days, Bai Nuo can now distinguish well which river mussels are old, which are relatively young, which have many pearls, which have few pearls, and which have no pearls and are suitable for eating.
After this identification, she found that only five of the clams in her hand did not have pearls and were suitable for eating, while the rest all had pearls, and two or three of them had a lot of pearls.
It made her incredibly happy.
After digging out the pearls, Bai Nuo sorted and organized everything. She washed the pearls and put them in a box in her room. She dug out the clam meat and put it in a large plate. She put the unusable shells into the wooden bucket.
Everything that needs to be cleaned should be cleaned, and everything that needs to be buried should be buried.
"Sister!" Bai Nuo passed by the yard carrying a wooden bucket. She had seen Bai Yu and Lu Ying practicing their horse stance. Bai Nuo was completely surprised that Bai Yu was still in the yard at this time, and that Lu Ying was also there. She felt a little embarrassed. She half-covered herself with the wooden bucket in her hand. When she heard Bai Yu call her, she just awkwardly said "Hey". Fortunately, Lu Ying was focused on Bai Yu and did not pay much attention to her.
So Bai Nuo grabbed the things and left quickly.
After cleaning up all the evidence, Bai Nuo was no longer afraid of others finding out. She swaggered out of the room with the clam meat in her hand, took it to the well and washed it with water. Just as she was washing it for the first time, Hu Mingmei suddenly came out, snatched the plate from her hand, scooped water into the plate with a spoon, and squatted down to wash the clam meat like Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo was dumbfounded. What was Hu Mingmei doing? Did he know what he was doing? Why did he suddenly steal her things?
"Young Master Hu?" Bai Nuo called softly, looking at Hu Mingmei squatting beside the well. "What are you doing?" As Bai Nuo spoke, he bent down, trying to take the plate back from Hu Mingmei's hands. "You don't need to do these things for me. You're not a servant!" Even though Bai Nuo had told Lu Ying that he would help her with chores while living here, that only applied to Lu Ying. Bai Nuo had never thought of asking Hu Mingmei to do anything for him, nor had he ever thought of bothering Hu Mingmei. Firstly, Hu Mingmei didn't seem like the type to do those trivial things, and secondly, given Hu Mingmei's physical condition, Bai Nuo didn't dare to ask him to do anything casually.
What if I faint?
"Call me by my name!" Hu Mingmei looked up at Bai Nuo and demanded seriously.
